نَشِيد الأنشاد 6

١ 1 (بَنَاتُ أُورُشَلِيمَ): أَيْنَ ذَهَبَ حَبِيبُكِ أَيَّتُهَا الْجَمِيلَةُ بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ؟ إِلَى أَيْنَ تَحَوَّلَ حَبِيبُكِ فَنَبْحَثَ عَنْهُ مَعَكِ؟

Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

٢ 2 (الْمَحْبُوبَةُ): قَدِ انْطَلَقَ حَبِيبِي إِلَى جَنَّتِهِ، إِلَى خَمَائِلِ الأَطْيَابِ لِيَرْعَى فِي الرَّوْضَاتِ وَيَقْطِفَ السُّوْسَنَ.

My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

٣ 3 أَنَا لِحَبِيبِي، وَحَبِيبِي لِي، وَهُوَ يَرْعَى بَيْنَ السُّوْسَنِ.

I [am] my beloved’s, and my beloved [is] mine: he feedeth among the lilies.

٤ 4 (المُحِبُّ): أَنْتِ جَمِيلَةٌ يَاحَبِيبَتِي كَتِرْصَةَ، حَسْنَاءُ كَأُورُشَلِيمَ، وَجَلِيلَةٌ كَجَيْشٍ يَرْفَعُ أَعْلاَمَهُ.

Thou [art] beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as [an army] with banners.

٥ 5 أَشِيحِي بِعَيْنَيْكِ عَنِّي فَقَدْ قَهَرَتَانِي. شَعْرُكِ كَقَطِيعِ مَاعِزٍ مُنْحَدِرٍ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ.

Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair [is] as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.

٦ 6 أَسْنَانُكِ فِي بَيَاضِهَا كَقَطِيعِ غَنَمٍ خَارِجٍ مِنَ الاغْتِسَالِ؛ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ تَوْأَمٍ وَمَا فِيهَا عَقِيمٌ.

Thy teeth [are] as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and [there is] not one barren among them.

٧ 7 خَدَّاكِ تَحْتَ نَقَابِكِ كَفَلْقَتَيْ رُمَّانَةٍ.

As a piece of a pomegranate [are] thy temples within thy locks.

٨ 8 هُنَاكَ سِتُّونَ مَلِكَةً وَثَمَانُونَ سُرِّيَّةً وَعَذَارَى لاَ يُحْصَى لَهُنَّ عَدَدٌ.

There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.

٩ 9 لَكِنَّكِ يَاحَمَامَتِي يَاكَامِلَتِي فَرِيدَةٌ، الابْنَةُ الْوَحِيدَةُ لأُمِّهَا، الأَعَزُّ عَلَى مَنْ أَنْجَبَتْهَا. رَأَتْهَا الْعَذَارَى فَطَوَّبْنَهَا، وَشَاهَدَتْهَا الْمَلِكَاتُ وَالسَّرَارِي فَمَدَحْنَهَا.

My dove, my undefiled is [but] one; she [is] the [only] one of her mother, she [is] the choice [one] of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; [yea], the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

١٠ 10 مَنْ هَذِهِ الطَّالِعَةُ كَالْفَجْرِ، الْجَمِيلَةُ كَالْبَدْرِ، الْمُشْرِقَةُ كَالشَّمْسِ، الْجَلِيلَةُ كَجَيْشٍ يَرْفَعُ أَعْلاَمَهُ؟

Who [is] she [that] looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, [and] terrible as [an army] with banners?

١١ 11 (الْمَحْبُوبَةُ): نَزَلْتُ إِلَى حَدِيقَةِ الْجَوْزِ لأَرَى ثَمَرَ الْوَادِي الْجَدِيدَ، وَأَنْظُرَ هَلْ أَزْهَرَ الْكَرْمُ وَنَوَّرَ الرُّمَّانُ؟

I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, [and] to see whether the vine flourished, [and] the pomegranates budded.

١٢ 12 وَقَبْلَ أَنْ أُدْرِكَ مَا يَجْرِي وَجَدْتُ نَفْسِي بَيْنَ أُمَرَاءِ قَوْمِي فَهَرَبْتُ.

Or ever I was aware, my soul made me [like] the chariots of Amminadib.

١٣ 13 (بَنَاتُ أُورُشَلِيمَ): ارْجِعِي، ارْجِعِي يَاشُولَمِّيثُ، اِرْجِعِي، اِرْجِعِي لِنَتَأَمَّلَ فِيكِ. (الْمَحْبُوبَةُ): مَاذَا تَرَوْنَ فِي شُولَمِّيثَ؟ (المُحِبُّ): مِثْلَ رَقْصِ صَفَّيْنِ!

Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.
